Water activities are a great way to have fun on vacation, and if you’re looking to get more active during your vacations, then taking to the water is definitely the option to choose amongst every other physically challenging activity. Why? Well, the water is fun, and any activity that takes place in the water is likely going to be more enjoyable, especially when it’s hot.
With that being said, here are five exciting water activities to try on your next vacation this year.
Kayaking
Kayaking is a wonderful way to see the sights from the perspective of the water and of the coastline. Sat in a one-man or two-man canoe, this is a great way to see the sights around you and at your own leisurely pace.
Kayaking is very simple to do, and it’s not something you can really get wrong unless you get caught up in some currents or high waves. Usually, though, a lot of kayaking is done within calmer waters.
With kayaking, you get the opportunity to discover hidden coves that might only be accessible via water, you can also get closer to wildlife, and enjoy a peaceful paddle for the duration of your rental/hire.
Paddleboarding
Paddleboarding is another fantastic way to get onto the water, but it can often be a little more physically demanding than the peaceful and tranquil nature of kayaking, for example.
With paddleboarding, it’s a fun and accessible activity for all ages, regardless of skill levels. It can be helpful to enjoy the scenery around you while also getting in a good amount of exercise.
It’s one of those activities that you won’t know how demanding it has been on your body until you’re at the end of the session. You can also do yoga with paddleboarding, so this is something to consider if it’s offered as an activity in the place you’re travelling to.

Snorkelling or scuba diving
When it comes to snorkelling, you’ve got the opportunity to explore shallow marine environments and get up close with the fish and other sea life that you’ll find on the coastline or just off the coastline, depending on how far you travel out while snorkelling.
It’s easy to do and can be a great way to explore some of the sea life while also getting in a little bit of swimming.
For those who want something a bit more intense, you could go on a deeper dive by scuba diving. This requires a bit more of your time and equipment, but an equally great way to see the sea life and more varied as you go into deeper waters.
Boat tours
Boat tours and hiring a private boat Krabi is a wonderful way of exploring and seeing the surroundings on the waters with your own tour guide.
A private hire boat can be wonderful to spend some quality time with family and friends, while also taking advantage of what the sea has to offer for the day.
Jet-skiing
Finally, if you love the thrill and adrenaline of water sports, then jet-skiing is certainly a good suggestion. It’s an adrenaline-pumping experience that has you zipping across the water at breakneck speeds. It’s also great to explore the coastal areas at a thrilling speed.
These water activities are a must-have addition for your next vacation, so be sure to try them all out.
